Default Where can I get hood letters



I wanted to give my discovery a full detail so I polished the paint and to get a better end product I removed the badging from the hood that says “Land Rover” they were getting chipped and was time , I found on eBay black Land Rover letters so I put those on and both sets I ordered the “r’s” flew off since the letters are very thick and can’t bend over the curve of the hood, does anyone know where I can order the oem flexible letter preferably black I’ll post a pic of the ones I ordered that didn’t work

They need heated with a hair dryer or heat gun to be flexible and stick good.

If I remember correctly, 04 is the only year with raised, thick plastic letters, the other years of D2's are just decals.

The material does not seem very malleable

I'd like to got the cheap route and find something to clean up the letters on my hood. The grayish silver is wearing away.

Well I no longer have the originals so I’m in a pickle , plus I no longer have r’s so I have to buy new letters anyway

I’d call the nearest dealership. Heck, put DISCOVERY on the front like the new ones.
